How to install Windows 10 _Pro_?
Hi People,

I have never installed Windows via USB, and the internet is not clear about it.

I need The Pro version, not the Home version, because I need to be able to install MS Hyper V (Virtual machines). We do this at school. Again, it needs to be Pro, not Home.

The choice of v 10 instead of v 11 is personal choice.

I have bought a product key for Windows 10 Pro at MMOGA (So, if you argue to use v 11, too late): https://www.mmoga.de/Software/Windows/Microsoft-Windows-10-Professional-OEM.html

I am currently creating the boot medium, as described here: https://www.microsoft.com/de-de/software-download/windows10

My question is, do I just install it from this USB stick and enter the Windows 10 Pro product key during the installation and it will then automatically install Windows 10 Pro?

Or does it install Windows 10 Home and then I have to upgrade it as described here: https://support.microsoft.com/de-de/windows/upgrade-von-windows-home-auf-windows-pro-ef34d520-e73f-3198-c525-d1a218cc2818#WindowsVersion=Windows_10

I just have this Laptop, so I can not search during the installation (I have a Linux Mint boot stick for the worst case szenario).
Correctness and robustness are not always the requirement. Sometimes it's simplicity. Sometimes it's time-to-market. Sometimes you get fed a broken XML and regex actually does a better job.

I've also been a junior developer and thought that my code has to be correct, look correct and perform correctly. Then I got a boss. Boy I was wrong.
Oh, I completely misunderstood. Now I get it. Sorry!
Proton Mail gives info only when the Swiss law mandates it and Swiss law enforcement requires it. Swiss privacy laws are quite good.

That's the strictest privacy policy any company can hope.

Proton Mail can't give email content, only things like email address, ip adressese etc.

While what you’re saying sorta makes sense I think you’re missing that money spent on a mortgage goes into an appreciating asset that you own.

Money on rent goes to pay for someone else’s appreciating asset you don’t own.

Insurance isn’t that much and you have to pay taxes multiple times on all your money anyway but at least property has a chance to fight back a bit or hopefully outpace inflation.

The money you earn today and sits in your bank is going to be worth very little in terms of spending power by the time you want to move somewhere cheap if you’re not keeping it in investments or property.

We’re entering a dark time financially and there will be a significant quality of life difference in 20 years of those who have money in the right places today.
That sucks :( sorry to hear that.

At this point it not even for lower prices.

I'm into coffee, and Timemore products are cleaner and overall better at what I want than from european or US brands.

Same went for MUJI, who were never really cheap outside of Japan (and were just middle priced even domestically) but kept a foothold thanks to better and cleaner design.

Increasingly Xiaomi's household products are also coming into that niche. Still daily using their driver set after 5 years.
Haha, nice connection. Nope, I'm just from the region and love the mystery. I visit around christmas and take the chance to get a bit of me-time.

Getting traction is not the primary goal ;-)

Actually CrossLine, which is the tool I still use and maintain, is pretty easy to build. When I implemented these tools, there were no package managers; and I actually don't like tools, which download an unbounded number of misterious things of any size, but prefer to be in charge myself.

And that is precisely the advantage of open source: if someone thinks that something can be done better, they can just do it.
> Consider a building or a server. You can absolutely make them secure.

I'm not sure it's a good example. A server that you build from off-the-shelf components will likely come with the IME, providing direct tcp-to-ram access. Motherboard manufacturers probably add their own backdoors on top. We know about Gigabyte because they were caught red-handed, but how many we don't know about? How many rootkits in the SSD firmware? In hundreds of other firmware blobs installed on your Linux server right now?

I'm not even talking about Open Source backdoors which are hard as they have to be done in the open. Hardware/firmware backdoors are not in the open, they have been around for decades, they have been found and confirmed numerous times and god only know how many were NOT found.

Building a secure server nowadays is an extremely complex task, only solvable at the government level perhaps and only an a few select countries, if solvable at all. You need full control over the whole supply chain that includes tens or hundreds of thousands of corruptible employees.
> Sales tax isn’t THAT different between jurisdictions, so we are talking about the seller having to lose a small percentage of margin.

California has a 7.25% sales tax. Oregon has a 0% sales tax. A 7.25% difference is larger than the entire net margin on many products.

> Sales are mostly about moving items, so they are already losing huge margins at that point anyway.

It seems like we've now gone from "there is no reason they can't do this" to "the merchant can just eat the sales tax and go out of business"?

> Anyway, you can always advertise 9.99 + tax and show the actual price with tax in the store tags.

Which is basically what they do now. You see the final price at the register before you pay. You also know that there is going to be sales tax, no one is being misled.

Putting a different price on the tags than there is on the ad would just confuse people and make it harder to tell when you're not getting the advertised price because you have to do fractional arithmetic on every soup can and candy bar to see if it matches.
I can't check your fascinating answers but a friend is, and is beginning to concur, so I'll take theirs and your advice as closer to correct. Thank you. Next question, where have you been for so long and only back now why giving such juicy answers?

> The java thing was so apparent, that when you looked at c++ code, you were able to spot the former java user pretty easily. :)

Well, Java was designed based on C++ GUI development patterns typical in the 10 years of C++ GUI frameworks that predated Java.

Yet, people keep using these kind of remarks.
Self-censorship is a natural part of social interactions; it's what allows us to navigate complex relationships and maintain harmony in a workplace. Consider all those intrusive thoughts you’ve had—the ones you chose not to voice because they were inappropriate or would create conflict. Our ability to filter what we say is key to functioning in social settings.

It's like a skill we take for granted. When you see people with certain mental disabilities who can't regulate their words, it quickly makes you realize why self-censorship matters. It's a critical tool for keeping things from descending into chaos.

The question isn't whether self-censorship is necessary, but rather, how much is appropriate. I shared the example of someone who revealed a boss's affair during a team meeting. It was a moment of impulsiveness that led to serious career consequences, to put it mildly.
Sorry!

That is if you rent rack space. If you rent bare metal and the bare metal has a failing disk, you file a request to replace said disk, and the data center engineer will be plugging cables, not you.

That means you have to worry about hardware failures, but you don't have the inconvenience of having to be physically present.

Not sure in which world you’re living. Remember shareware and cracked versions of it? Remember having to jump through hoops to get paid for software (or indeed to pay, if you were a user)? Especially if user and developer lived in different countries.

Apple created a new reality where you pay 99 cents and buy to own. It made so very compelling, through general ease of payment flow that just works worldwide and through a large ecosystem of compelling hardware.

Then, subscription behemoths like Epic started crying how it’s all unfair. Of course, it is to them, but there is no way kowtowing to them is beneficial to small app developers.

False. Like all member states, the Swedish government has officialy ceded jurisdiction and enforcement of certain laws to the EU. Only VPN providers who do not comply with such international court orders get shut down. Look at what happened to vpnlab: The police literally write on their seized domain that they have forcefully attained access to everything, because the provider would not give it away freely: https://vpnlab.net/

Consequently, you can assume that all other VPN providers who are still doing business in Europe are freely giving away their data to government agencies.
Could you share some examples? :-) Thx.

> what do you think is driving "overdiagnosis"? Eg. given we have guidelines in place?

This is a super interesting question, and I don't know the answer.

My personal, completely unsupported opinion is that people now feel more pressure than ever to be perfect, when people are not. It is therefore logical that when people look at themselves and find imperfections, they try to find a 'cause' or a 'reason' that they can blame those imperfections on. I suspect that once you have convinced yourself that your imperfections are caused by something, you have a sort of Baader-Meinhof effect of the mind which causes you to see more and more 'symptoms' and attribute more and more negative things to that 'cause'.

Agree on both the TikTok mental health awareness and gatekeeping points however.
Gemtext[1] would have been perfect and way enough while still being legible on a terminal. Italic and bold can be done via unicode, you don't need a markup language for that.

[1] https://geminiprotocol.net/docs/gemtext.gmi
Both emacs and vim strike me as completely unnecessary (for daily use) these days. Of course I still use vim in a terminal, but I just can’t imagine ever using it as my primary IDE.
This also happened with providers in Europe. So you can safely assume that any VPN provider who is still doing business in Europe is compromised in some way or another by the government.
Show HN: I built Compassionate AI – AI with memory and multi-expert architecture
Generic AI chatbots often struggle to provide meaningful assistance because they lack understanding of the user's context. To solve this problem, I built Compassionate AI.

It can be used as a personal advisor across various life areas and provide assistance as a regular LLM.

Here are some of its features:

- Extensive user profile with 80+ fields that is categorized into different life areas and shared with the LLM during each interaction to provide AI with the context about its user.

- Dynamic profile updates made by a dedicated AI agent that analyzes user interactions to keep the chatbot up-to-date with evolving context.

- A multi-expert architecture with specialized AI assistants, each focusing on a specific life area. The most relevant AI expert is automatically selected based on the user's query.

I would love to get your feedback.

There are some serious anti-proton-vibes in this thread, so just my 2 cents as a paying customer: I'm rather happy with their service. I pay them money, they make sure that Joe in Marketing won't be able to harvest data from my emails. I'm also fairly optimistic that they take security serious enough that the blast radius of some dataleak is hopefully very limited.

I have zero delusions however that they can protect me from state agents, let alone state agents with malicious intent. And I don't think it's realistic to expect that for the amount of money they cost. But that's fine with me - it's Joe from Marketing I'm scared about, and so far they seem to do a good job keeping Joe at bay :)
Right, but it also works in all other programs such as code editors etc.

> But elections aren’t about who you like anymore, they’re about who you dislike and what that person you dislike is going to do.

If the GOP had picked someone a bit more mainstream and less divisive than Trump, they’d probably be winning against Biden easily. Likewise, if Biden had decided against a second term, some other Democrat could easily have been well ahead of Trump right now.

A big reason why the election is about “who you dislike”, is both parties decided to run with what is arguably close to the worst option out of their realistic choices. If either had chosen differently, it would likely have been a very different election.

It seems there is some mental conflict going in readers between the reality of what ProtonMail does for its customers and their expectations of what kinds of protections a legitimate business can provide.

Both ProtonMail and Apple will challenge subpoenas when they believe they are not valid, however neither company has the final say in the matter and can be compelled to provide access to data that they reasonably have access to. It is up to the user to plan what information they provide to service provides in order to not leave a trail of crumbs, and also evaluate what kind of man-in-the-middle weaknesses a service might have for the possibility of wiretapping. It should go without saying that linking a phone number or back-up email address can be a pretty large crumb.

The learning here is to recognise that these services can be compelled to provide whatever small information that they have reasonable access to, and that this information may be useful in unmasking an identity.

I suppose the second learning is to elect governments which respect democratic freedoms, even if that puts them on the back foot.

> People freely and openly expressing themselves is the only way a democracy can really function. There is a reason that the 1st Amendment is at the top of the Bill of Rights.

The problem is, if you don't make sure that there is at least a common baseline of decency, eventually the one willing to fight the dirtiest will win out. "Anything goes, no repercussions" will always lead to a destructive death spiral as politicians and candidates will appeal to lower and lower emotions to score votes, and the ones who feel it most are usually those in a lower position of society: LGBT, migrants, even pregnant women.

We've seen that in Germany in the events running up to 1933, we're seeing it across Europe now with the rise of the far-right willing to do literally anything including running on complete and utter lies (worst example: Brexit and the infamous NHS bus), we're seeing it in the US with the transformation of the GOP into MAGA and the unholy crusade of Evangelicals/White Christian Nationalists ("Project 2025") against everyone who is not like them. And on top of that you got the threat of "stochastic terrorism" - basically, speech that is legal in most jurisdictions, but powerful enough in its message to convince deranged people to act and kill [1].

The US and the UK are the only developed countries in the world which still run on their original constitutions and their principles from centuries ago: a time in which it was completely infeasible to even think about a technology that would allow literally all the village idiots from all over the world to communicate with - and radicalize! - each other, and it was generally assumed that institutions of a government could reasonably rely on other institutions of the government to follow the written and unwritten rules. Everyone else has updated their constitutions in the meantime, mostly due to acts of war, and used the chance to update their systems to learn from the past and its deficiencies.

> - "If ever the time should come, when vain and aspiring men shall possess the highest seats in government, our country will stand in need of its experienced patriots to prevent its ruin." - Samuel Adams

Well, we'll see how that one works out in November this year. The people behind "Project 2025" [2] have made it very, very clear on where they want to take the US - first, purge everyone they deem to be a threat to them from the bureaucracy, and then transition the US into a Christian theocratic dictatorship.
